Can you add some comments about how these callbacks work and when it
should be set to for future users? For example, anon_lock() are
used to override the default behavior and it's not trivial.

I think that it's better to move this field into the structure pointed
to by arg (which can be defined by each caller in its own way) and pass
arg to *vma_skip().

Thanks,
